product-management

The product-management skill transforms your agent into an expert PM specifically tuned for the needs of early-stage startups and rapid iteration environments. Rather than relying on simple feature lists, this tool uses a signal-based approach to identify what to build and why, ensuring that engineering efforts align with market timing and business reality. It leverages the proprietary WINNING prioritization filter (Pain × Timing × Execution Capability) to score potential features, helping you reduce a backlog of 50+ gaps down to a high-conviction roadmap. The tool handles the end-to-end lifecycle, from competitive landscape intelligence gathering to technical execution handoffs via integrated GitHub workflows.

• Perform deep autonomous web research on competitors to categorize features into Tablestakes, Differentiators, and Emerging trends.

• Execute automated codebase scans to generate a comprehensive product inventory, capturing architecture, APIs, and current technical debt.

• Apply the WINNING filter (scoring 1-60) to objectively rank feature requests, providing clear recommendations for filing, waiting, or skipping.

• Generate professional PRDs (Product Requirement Documents) automatically, including problem statements, user stories, and acceptance criteria.

• Synchronize your PM cache with GitHub Issues, using fuzzy matching for intelligent deduplication to prevent repetitive development tasks.

• Manage project backlogs and roadmap planning with dedicated statuses (Now/Next/Later) and specific GitHub label automation (e.g., pm:feature-request, priority:now).

• Ensure the .pm/ folder is present at your project root, as this is where the skill stores all configurations, inventory, and cached intelligence.

• Run /pm:analyze as your primary step to establish a baseline of existing product capabilities and business context.

• Use /pm:sync before major planning sessions to ensure that GitHub issue labels and statuses are fully up-to-date with your local analysis.

• Leverage the integration with spec-kit by using /pm:file to create GitHub Issues, which then serve as the foundational input for technical specification and implementation workflows.

• Refresh competitive and market data periodically, as the system includes staleness tracking to prompt updates for information older than 30 days.
